What is EDRW file?
The EDRW (.EDRW) file format is a 3D formatted file used by SolidWorks software for creating and editing 3-dimensional objects. EDRW files are particularly useful for sharing 3D designs over the Internet as they contain information about both the model's geometry and its appearance. These files are compressed for smaller size, making them smaller than CAD drawings or design models. [ ⏩ ] EDRW file extension
What is SLDPRT file?
The SLDPRT file extension is a 3D CAD part from SolidWorks, the professional design software commonly used by engineers and designers. The SLDPRT extension stands for SolidWorks Part, which is generally a 3D Assembly part generated by SolidWorks. These files can be opened, viewed and manipulated using the software which enables users to create precise 3D models or parts. [ ⏩ ] SLDPRT file extension
How to convert the file from EDRW to SLDPRT?
To successfully convert the EDRW file to SLDPRT, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.EDRW). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case SLDPRT (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than SLDPRT).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. EDRW to SLDPRT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting EDRW files to SLDPRT files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension SLDPRT, while before this step we had the EDRW file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new SLDPRT file, or not.
